Jiří Paroubek criticizes Czech intelligence chief

Jiří Paroubek has criticized the head of the Czech Security Information Service (BIS), Koudelka, accusing him of promoting a Russophobic and militaristic atmosphere within Czech society. Paroubek suggested that Koudelka's recent comments to The Guardian regarding potential Russian incursions into NATO territory serve external interests rather than those of the Czech government.

Paroubek also expressed skepticism regarding the BIS reports concerning the Vrbětice ammunition depot explosions, noting contradictions within the agency's findings regarding the involvement of Russian agents.
